Here's this intake system I just stumbled across on Youtube by Fujita. Here's the youtube link, also under the video description, it says the website name, and it's dyno proven for 10.3rwhp and 9rwtq

Here's an engine bay video of the same system

hmm, question... maybe i am just overlooking this but will the Fujita intakes have heatsheilds or boxes like the stillen does around the air filters?
I am just reminded of the heatsoak issues ppl were having with the JWT Pop Charger for the G35.
I noticed our engine def produces AALOT of heat... even the power steering fluid starts to bubble after 5 min. Maybe im just not used to this.

This is fron Fujita's site. take it for what it's worth about heat soak i guess.
SHORT RAM INTAKE SYSTEMS
A traditional underhood intake, also known as a Short Ram Intake, usually follows the same path as the stock intake system. There are some distinct differences between the stock intake and the Fujita Air Short Ram. A few of these differences include replacing the factory intake plenum with an aluminum plenum, eliminating resonators, air box, drop in filter, and replacing it with an open filter element. These key differences allow the vehicle to bring in more air into the intake chamber and create more horsepower and torque. Vacuum and in some cases air mass sensors, are still maintained and incorporated into the Fujita Short Ram Intake. Since a vehicle is constantly moving (except during traffic or at a light) heat soak will be of little issue since the car will constantly be bringing in fresh air. In addition, studies have shown that the material used to build the intake system has shown no loss of horsepower due to an intake being rubber, aluminum, ceramic coated, anodized, etc.

Dyno for Stillen intake?
I see the Dyno for the Fujita but where is th comparable dyno for the Stillen system. I realize the Fujita is much more attractive but which gives you the most gains?

EDIT: I forgot about the $20 rebate that got extended until 9/30/07 from Fujita: http://www.f5air.com/index2.html (direct link to rebate)
That makes it $296.13! Great deal!

Nice find finagle! I was gonna wait out for the eBay auction since it ends tomorrow, but this has the same price (and it's an actual retailer) with $8.33 UPS ground shipping. Total came out to $316.13.
